Speaker connections

Connect the speaker terminals with the speakersmaking sure that like polarities are matched (<with <, > with >).

¢Speaker impedance

Note on speaker impedance

When using speakers with an impedancebelow the designated value (for example 4Ω/ohms), playing for long periods of time withthe volume high could cause the temperatureto rise, activating the protection circuit.When the protection circuit is activated, theoutput to the speakers is cut off and the powerindicator blinks. If this happens, unplug thepower cord, wait for the set to cool off andimprove ventilation around the unit. Also checkthe wiring of the input cables and the speakercables. After doing this, plug the power cordback in and turn the unit’s power back on.If the protection circuit is activated again eventhough there are no problems with the wiring orthe ventilation around the unit, switch off thepower and contact a DENON service center.

NOTE:

When making connections, take care that

none of the individual conductors of the

speaker cable come in contact with adjacent

terminals, with other speaker cable

conductors, or with the rear panel and

screws.

NEVER touch the speaker terminals when

the power is on. Doing so could result in

electric shocks.

1. Loosen by turningcounterclockwise.

Either tightly twist or terminate the corewires.

2. Insert the cable.

• For best picture quality (especially with progressive DVD and other high definition sources), choose thecomponent video connection to your monitor. S-Video and composite video outputs are also provided ifyour monitor does not have component video inputs.

• The signals input to the color difference (component) video terminals are not output from the VIDEOoutput terminal (yellow) or the S-Video output terminal.

Connecting a DVD player and monitor

• To connect the digital audio output from the DVD player, you can choose from either the coaxial oroptical connections. If you choose to use the coaxial connection, it needs to be assigned. For moreinformation about Digital Input Assignment ( page 21).

• Precaution when using S-Video terminals

AVR-587 ’s S-Video terminals (input and output) and video terminals (input and output) have independentcircuit structures, so that video signals input from the S-Video terminals are only output from the S-Videoterminal outputs and video signals input from the terminals are only output from the terminal outputs.When connecting AVR-587 with equipment that is equipped with S-Video terminals, keep the abovepoint in mind and make connections according to the equipment’s instruction manuals.

Audio signal flow is shown with white arrows, video signal flow is shown with gray arrows.

• Connect a non-DVD video disc player (such as a laser disc, VCD/SVCD, or future high definition discplayer) to the DVD/VDP terminals in the same way.

• The component video input and/or output terminals may be labelled differently on some monitors orvideo components. Check the owner’s manuals for other components for further information.

Connecting a TV/DBS tuner

• To connect the digital audio output from the TV or DBS tuner, you can choose from either the coaxial oroptical connections. If you choose to use the coaxial connection, it needs to be assigned. For moreinformation about Digital Input Assignment ( page 21).


AVR-587’s S-Video terminals (input and output) and video terminals (input and output) have independentcircuit structures, so that video signals input from the S-Video terminals are only output from the S-Videoterminal outputs and video signals input from the terminals are only output from the terminal outputs.When connecting AVR-587 with equipment that is equipped with S-Video terminals, keep the abovepoint in mind and make connections according to the equipment’s instruction manuals.

• The signals input to the component (color difference) video terminals are not output from the VIDEOoutput terminal (yellow) or the S-Video output terminal.

Using the DENON original surround modes

The AVR-587 is equipped with a high performance digital signal processor (DSP) that uses digital signal processing to recreate sound fieldsartificially. One of seven surround modes can be selected according to the program source and parameters can be further adjusted to achieveeven more realistic sound fields.

Types of surround modes and their features

This mode recreates the atmosphere of a live concert in an arena.

This mode recreates the atmosphere of a live concert in a club with low ceilings, hard walls and the artist just infront of you.

This mode provides a rich sense of presence for video games.

This mode recreates the atmosphere of an expansive sound field for movie sources recorded in monaural.

This mode recreates music sources recorded in stereo with an enhanced sense of expansion.

This mode can be used to enjoy surround sound with only front speakers or when using headphones.

NOTE 1: “5CH STEREO” is displayed when “SB CH OUT” is set to “OFF”.NOTE 2: When playing sources recorded in monaural, the sound will be one-sided if signals are only input to one channel (left or right), so input

signals to both channels. If you have a source component with only one audio output (monophonic camcorder, etc.) obtain a “Y”adapter cable to split the mono output to two outputs, and connect to the L and R inputs.

• Depending on the program source being played, the effect may not be very noticeable. In this case, try other surround modes, withoutworrying about their names, to create a sound field suited to your tastes.

This mode lets you enjoy stereo sound with seven speakers. The front L (R) channel signals are played from thesurround and surround back L (R) channels and only the in-phase component of the L and R channels is played onthe center channel.

About the speakers

Surround back speakers

Sound position directly to the rear can be achieved easily by adding asurround back speaker to a 5.1-channel system.In addition, the acoustic image extending between the sides and therear is narrowed, thus greatly improving the expression of thesurround signals for sounds moving from the sides to the back andfrom the front to the point directly behind the listening position.

In addition to sources recorded in 6.1-channels, the surround effect ofconventional 2- to 5.1-channel sources can also be enhanced.

¢Number of surround back speakersWe recommend using two speakers.When using dipolar speakers in particular, be sure to use two speakers.

¢Placement of the surround left and right channels

¢Sources recorded in Dolby SurroundSources recorded in Dolby Surround are indicated with the followinglogo marks.Dolby Surround support mark:

Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories. “Dolby”,“Pro Logic” and the double-D symbol are trademarks of DolbyLaboratories.

The AVR-587 is equipped with a digital signal processing circuit thatlets you play program sources in the surround mode to achieve thesame sense of presence as in a movie theater.

Surround

Dolby Surround

[1] Dolby DigitalDolby Digital is the multi-channel digital signal format developed byDolby Laboratories. A total of 5.1-channels are played: three front channels (“FL”, “FR”and “C”), two surround channels (“SL” and “SR”) and the “LFE”channel for low frequencies.Because of this, there is no crosstalk between channels and a realisticsound field with a “three-dimensional” feeling (sense of distance,movement and positioning) is achieved.A real, overpowering sense of presence is achieved when playingmovie sources in AV rooms as well.

[2] Dolby Pro Logic IIDolby Pro Logic II is a matrix decoding technology developed byDolby Laboratories. Regular music such as that on CDs is encodedinto 5 channels to achieve an excellent surround effect.The surround channel signals are converted into stereo and full bandsignals (with a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz or greater) tocreate a “three-dimensional” sound image offering a rich sense ofpresence for all stereo sources.

[3] Dolby Pro Logic IIxDolby Pro Logic IIx is a further improved version of the Dolby ProLogic II matrix decoding technology.Audio signals recorded in 2 channels are decoded to achieve a naturalsound with up to 7.1-channels.There are three modes: “Music” suited for playing music, “Cinema”suited for playing movies, and “Game” which is optimum for playinggames.

DTS Digital Surround

DTS Digital Surround is a digital surround format developed by DigitalTheater Systems of the United States.The number of playback channels and the playing band is the same asfor Dolby Digital (5.1-channels).The compression rate of the audio data when it was recorded on themedium is lower than for Dolby Digital, so there is more informationwhen the data is decoded, resulting in richer, clearer sound quality.

DTS-ES™

DTS-ES is a new surround format developed by Digital TheaterSystems.A sound image and sense of positioning can be achieved by adding asurround back (“SB”) channel to the conventional 5.1-channels.

DTS-ES™ Discrete 6.1:

This is the latest format, in which all 6.1-channels, including the“SB” channel, are recorded independently. Since the differentchannels are independent, the sound can be designed with totalfreedom.

DTS-ES™ Matrix 6.1:

With this format, the “SB” channel is matrix-encoded and insertedinto the “SL” and “SR” channels, then decoded for the “SL”, “SR”and “SB” channels upon playback. This achieves a surround soundmore faithful to the artist’s sound design intentions than withconventional 5.1- or 6.1-channel systems.

DTS NEO:6 surround

This is a matrix decoding technology for 6.1-channel surroundplayback of 2-channel sources.The optimum decoding for the type of signal source to be played canbe selected. There are two modes.

DTS NEO:6 CINEMA:

This mode is suited for playing movies. It achieves the same type ofsound as in a movie theater, even with 2 channels.

DTS NEO:6 MUSIC:

This mode is suited for playing music. A natural sense of expansionis added to the sound field.

Neural Surround

Neural Surround™, a breakthrough in audio technology, will bring theexcitement of surround music to more of America’s listeningaudience. It provides the rich envelopment and discrete image detailof surround sound in a format 100 % compatible with stereo. Withsuperior spectral resolution and channel separation, NeuralSurround™ draws the brain’s attention to sonic details in musicalinstruments, vocals, and ambience that are typically masked by otherplayback systems. This allows the listener to fully experience therichness and subtleties in recorded performance as never before. Asthe chosen format for XM Satellite Radio’s new XM HD surroundprogramming, Neural Surround will help deliver more surround musicto more listeners than any other broadcast format. XM Satellite Radiowill be the first radio company -to broadcast surround sound on theradio 24 hours a day and will offer three channels fully dedicated toNeural Surround™ music. This alone will amount to more than 25,000hours of Neural Surround™ music each year.
